San Marino: Valentina Duets with Joshua de Cadenéx

San Marino – After speculation that Valentina Monetta was going to reveal her Eurovision song on Christmas Eve, she revealed a duet with Joshua de Cadenéx on the Christmas show Tombola di Natale. The song is called ‘A Kiss’ and features on Valentina’s new album. It also features Corale di San Marino choir. Her Eurovision entry is also expected to be on the album, but it appears that we are still awaiting that!

Joshua has worked with The Band with No Name, West Life, Will Young, Beverly Knight, 911, Daniel Bedingfield, All Saints and Joss Stone. He has also worked on TV shows including The Voice and Pop idols in the UK.

It was a cheap, tacky and crappy song that thankfully didn’t qualify. It was too close to qualifying! Too many Eurovision clichés at once for my taste. I hope they find another songwriter/composer this time at least.

After 3 years, she should just play to her strengths and go with something from her repertoire. It’s not like she had success going with other genres. She should go there with her sultry jazz numbers and take her chances.

This is a credible effort, but I know she can do even better.

Plus, 2 thumbs up to one of the YouTube comments below the video: “this is better than a Facebook song” High praise indeed lol.
